The segment focused on the 2014 - 2015 flu season and reported that "some new evidence [suggests that] this is a particularly bad flu season. Flu related hospitalizations of the elderly are the highest since the government started tracking nine years ago. About 198 out of every 100,000 people 65 and older have been hospitalized with flu-related illness this flu season. That roughly 86,000, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)."

As was also reported in the segment; There was a vaccine prepared for this year's flu season, but the vaccine that was formulated - was for the most part - ineffective against this years flu strain.

So the question begs, "What can individuals do to strengthen their own immune system not only against future flu viruses, but against a variety of diseases that are just waiting to attack their body without "rolling the dice" and waiting for the "one solution [and one time] miracle cure" that may either never happen, or may miss its mark entirely?

To begin, one must understand how the immune system works - The health of one's immune system hinges on one main factor: antibodies. Antibodies are the proteins that are produced by the immune system to fight off antigens. Antigens are microorganisms (such as bacteria and viruses) that infect the human body thus causing individuals to become sick ( ie. colds, flu, chickenpox, measles etc..)

Because antibodies play such an important role in keeping your body healthy it is important that individuals do everything possible to keep their immune system strong to fight off infectious diseases. In addition, the stronger and healthier your immune system the faster your body will be able to recover from an infectious disease that over the course of its infection has weakened your body.

Creating a healthy lifestyle by eating healthy, exercising regularly, getting the right amount of sleep, not smoking or consuming excessive amounts of alcohol are just a few of the steps that a person can take to keep their immune system strong.

To vaccinate or not to vaccinate that is the question; and I
wonder how Shakespeare would have approached this subject if such an issue was
presented in his day? The two camps are diametrically opposed to each other,
one group thinks its societies moral obligation to vaccinate and the other side
feels it is their moral right to have freedom of choice. Strangely, the ones
opposed to vaccination do not prevent or protest those that vaccinate, it is
their choice and they are free to decide how they live it. The ones who chose
not to vaccinate are not given the same luxury instead they are quickly
discriminated against; one reported from USA Today said that the parents should
be jailed and their children confiscated by the state if they don’t vaccinate.
My question to this unenlightened soul is this, do we live in a democracy or
not? Can we not decide our own fate on how we treat our bodies and what we put
into them? How is it that those who have been given the freedom of choice feel
it applies only one sided, almost like my way or the highway
mentality.

The issue of vaccination
will not be solved easily, the science is unproven and contradictory, and I
would have listed each of the discrepancies for there are many but Mike Adams,
the Health Ranger did it for me titled; The 21
curious questions we're never allowed to ask about vaccines
